Judging Period Week 18: MemeHive Theme Curation Contest

JudgingPeriodWeek18.png

No idea how to make the selection process of eligible articles shorter. After several minutes of retrieving the announcement for the curation contest, finally I am glad to see my post. Too many posts are shown on the hiveve.me front end. Many tribes are using the hashtag meme.

@ladyaryastark's article about PEPE power-up day is the only article I saw in the PeakD MemeHive community eligible for this week's contest.

The second article is from @grandpapulse, a collection of headlines that are considered hot issues this week in crypto. Among these issues, what caught my attention the most is the idea of incentivizing education via blockchain by LERN360. This reminds me of the article just published by my father about the Mira Network. Both projects share the same educational goals. I agree that introducing the idea of incentives and on-chain credentialing will disrupt traditional education systems. I am not just sure how long it will take for us to see such disruption.

I uphold "the first five tags rule," meaning #meme must be included in the first five tags in your post. Even though you published your article near the day of the announcement, I will skip it when I see the guideline isn't followed. However, if your post is exceptional, I can dismiss this rule.

The third article is from @elopinky. She wrote about transforming cooking from a tedious household chore into a space to foster connections with friends and neighbors.

The fourth post serves as a good reminder when things in your life are turning out not as you expected. @princessluv talks about our interpretation of particular events that triggers an emotional response. If we learn to distinguish between our interpretation and the event itself, this would give us peace and an opportunity for personal growth. The traffic and breakup examples she used are common experiences that many can relate to.

The last article is a very emotional one. I don't know @mintymile's story. I am not sure if it is just my first time stumbling upon her article. I have to check her previous post to know where she is coming from.

If I understand her post correctly, it appears to me that she just suffered a romantic breakup and, at the same time, her father's health crisis. That's not easy. It reminds me of a painful past brought on by both financial and emotional breakdown. Just one of these could cause sleepless nights and indescribable suffering. To experience them both, we would no longer wonder if someone would think that life seems not fair and cruel.

I could relate to the first half of this paragraph:

The emotional turmoil that follows the collapse of a romantic relationship can be overwhelming. However, in time, the heart heals, becoming stronger and nurturing a wiser soul, more open to the right kind of love from the right person.

Not sure about that "more open" part.

In the end, I admire her resiliency, and I am glad to know that she found strength from the support of her loved ones.

As for her eligible post for the curation contest, the story is about rekindling her writing passion through the creation of a heartfelt thank-you card for a surgeon who saved her father's life.

Those two articles were not easy to read. Even though @mintymile's content is deeply personal, both her writing style and image preparation are very creative.

Thanks to all the above contributors for sharing your thoughts and experiences.

The winners will be announced tomorrow!

More power to the MemeHive and the Pepe tribes!

Hey... I am thrilled that my post did win rewards, the 2nd card one. As for what emotional pain or turmoil or crisis I been to... was not abut any romantic break up(:... its about the strain I went through managing my Dad - it's personal...I got issues with him, it's mentioned there but his heart condition was severely poor.

When managing that situation, I was by myself that time - in the diagnosis, management of chores, including food while there was a roach infestation in kitchen adding challenges...and then there began a episode where I went beyond and took help of my Dad siblings in navigating this crisis... seeing various doctors, and having my uncle and cousin accompany me to see surgeon. Then have dad understand his situation, decide on doctor and surgery then and have my family members from abroad come over for support.

I really was super busy... super involved, in deep pain and even then I made visuals and got rewarded in memehive Hive only... on March... then had to manage all this Dad episode,...juggle up a lot, then mmanage home and family... and leave writing, reading all that...

because house arrangement and such things... it was chaos... and then the operation period too I had home, cats and had to be in hospital in shifts. Apart from arranging food for family, they from abroad so Indian conditions are not very stimulating for them.

Then the usual anxiety on if all would go well in operation, there was this tension much before while deciding if dad's should go for surgery... that the operation may not go well... or could lead to complications...had to accept that first...

So was busy throughout and could not be really happy Dad's made it in surgery because he looked totally awful and I was always tired and exhausted. But there was some relief and happiness, it grew day by day.

I got hurt by family too... with statements that they keep saying that I cannot be relied upon, and that I am in family only because I am in the family, I don't have their respect... its from my Dad too... and being that supportive person at his side with this deep hurt was very hard...I had no one to talk to...

but I realised I had people who were willing to listen to me...so I could vent out... I cried for a month non-stop when dad's heart condition was disgonosed as terrible, not exaxtly feeling bad for that...but because of past insults I had got from dad and family... I live in toxic environment and mostly I am failiur in life only(: I keep struggling without results... or concrete results and achiements!

so they don't think anything of me... I am 40 also ...that helps because they don't over protect me but still... its hard the past pain stings so badly at times ...

And then there's the operation journey...and then Dad's consious emergence... he in super paine and weak but would get strenghtened in time with right care... he struggled and I had to take care of someone so weak and do everything for a while...

then I had my journey of recovery taking counselling and chating with chatgpt, getting my routine back and then trying to write(:

I survived... but not merely survived I emerged as someone with potential to grow again... I got so much love and support I never ever got...also respect from others and even acknowledgement, not from family but others...

I did break down, due to family chaus, comments and recently this Dad only said I am such a failiur and I not achieved anything in life... but even then I take it a victory that I managed the situation - Dad's heart episode pretty decently showing emotional maturity and grace, no one knew I had...

What I meant with that romantic relationship statement was - after the heart break, in time you heal and get stronger and wiser to get into relationship with righter person... like that after my break down for other reasons, in time after exhaution, one climbs up, and does things... as I recovered with more insight, and experiencing some personal growth development kind... anyway...

I used tag memehive, not sure I used meme, its always nice to win here(: or be recognized for all my creative works. Atleast 3 or 4 times I got some rewards from memehive contests. And this kept me engaged too when I was living my turmoil March-April, I made memehive posts that got rewards and contests just started and growing... it was mostly on trump tariffs then... I stopped on April because May then was bound to be a difficult month which I was scared to enter!

It passed... memehive community did help engage myself during my emotiional turmoil...all that post diagosis journey... dealing with Dad, being with him and letting him decided on surgery and then...other things... supporting him even in recovery... and me coming back to get those energy levels to write again...

its as good or felt as good with passion flowing, live flowing ... anyway

Yes... but in my suffering - the month of dianosis and all the buzz later leading to surgery... month of March and April... I did not have much time to study crypto, web3... I used to make memes, or visuals that I branded as memes reading news story...there's lot with trump tariffs and economy... and memehive contest initiative then got started by you guys, and at my spare time I used to post meme stories and got recognized by you ...it helped a lot to feel alive then(: ... making those memes, channeling my energy on that ...and participating on contests...there were very few meme posts qualifying for the contest then, meme community was not that vibrant, now its grown I guess...

whatever memehive contests and your seeing my posts ans rewarding it... really uped my spirit in time when I was navigating severe strom inside. You should know it... its not your rewards, its you recognizing memes, seeing them, and I had connection with them. Because of that I had a enjoyable time in difficult circumtances too and I felt worthy that I am creating something nice...

in other words all that helped me feel good about myself... which strenghtened me, maybe indirectly! ... because my creativity, writing, unique sense of humour or understanding is real and I felt good!

Even in the times later during my recovery struggle when I could not write, I attempted believeing I can create good visuals and content, because of the belief I got get recognized by @memehive and other commutinities earlier... else I may have given up...or believed I am not meant to write, or create stories or visuals or memes... but I knew I have the creativity because of earlier positive experiences..

Maybe I should do a story later how making memes channeled all my pain and relaxed me in month of march and april...march was the month I cried for a period non-stop, but that also was less due to me consumed making memes, which I made reading and understanding news stories with full depth. Anyway...just saying. Keep the Memehive platform going... atleast it helped me a lot in my painful period, and made me use my spare time in a productive manner I think... atleast I felt so...

This year I got a new skill on creating visual meme...or visuals to complement my stories...its my growth as a writer and content creator developing new dimention. Anyway...
